Three E. bluebirds in the sumac bushes on sideline 34 (Rouge land).  They were frenetic, moving from bush to bush and would not let me get close.  Upon first arrival, just as I entered the sideline, a falcon careened across the road, close to the ground, veered over the snowbank and disappeared from view.  No snow bunting were seen and Ethan was also a no-show.  There was a RTH circling high in the sky on the concession road but this was east of Altona Rd. just outside the hamlet of Cherrywood, the pothole capital of Pickering.  It may have been another hawk.

Two male bluebirds seen again this morning, but they were on-the-move and hard to approach.  Still, those male birds are so intensely blue that it looks like a jewel in my old viewfinder.
